A system for the prioritization of flight controls in an electric aircraft is illustrated. The system includes a plurality of flight components, a sensor, and a computing device. The plurality of flight components are coupled to the electric aircraft. The sensor is coupled to each flight component of the plurality of flight components. Each sensor of the plurality of sensors is configured to detect a failure event of a flight component of the plurality of flight components and generate a failure datum associated to the flight component of the plurality of flight components. The computing device is communicatively connected to the sensor and is configured to receive the failure datum associated to the flight component of the plurality of flight component from the sensor, determine a prioritization element as a function of the failure datum, and restrict at least a flight element as a function of the prioritization element.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the failure datum includes an element of data describing the failure event of the flight component.
3. The system of claim 1, wherein the prioritization element includes a ranking of three or more flight elements.
4. The system of claim 1, wherein ranking is performed as a function of a ranking-machine-learning process.
5. The system of claim 1, wherein a second highest priority is given to a flight element of heave, a third highest priority is given to a flight element of roll, and a fourth highest priority is given to flight element of pitch.
6. The system of claim 1, wherein restricting at least a flight element includes restricting a pilot's capability of controlling the at least a flight element through a flight controller.
7. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of flight components further comprises a propulsor attached to each flight component of the plurality of flight components.
8. The system of claim 7, further comprising at least an actuator configured to move each propulsor.
9. The system of claim 1, wherein the computing device is further configured to determine a corrective action for a flight component of the plurality of flight components as a function of the failure datum.
10. The system of claim 1, wherein the computing device is further configured to command the actuator to maneuver the flight component of the plurality of flight components as a function of the corrective action.
12. The method of claim 11, wherein the failure datum includes an element of data describing the failure event of the flight component.
13. The method of claim 11, wherein the prioritization element includes a ranking of three or more flight elements.
14. The method of claim 11, wherein a second highest priority is given to a flight element of heave, a third highest priority is given to a flight element of roll, and a fourth highest priority is given to flight element of pitch.
15. The method of claim 11, wherein ranking includes using a ranking-machine-learning process.
16. The method of claim 11, wherein restricting at least a flight element includes restricting a pilot's capability of controlling the at least a flight element through a flight controller.
17. The method of claim 11, wherein the plurality of flight components further comprises a propulsor attached to each flight component of the plurality of flight components.
18. The method of claim 17, further comprising at least an actuator configured to move each propulsor.
19. The method of claim 11, wherein the computing device is further configured to determine a corrective action for a flight component of the plurality of flight components as a function of the failure datum.
20. The method of claim 11, wherein the computing device is further configured to command the actuator to maneuver the flight component of the plurality of flight components as a function of the corrective action.
